Conceived by 15-year-old Midlothian artist Michelle Marquez and filmed by Patrick Gregory with the help of drones, "The Emotional Dimensions of the James River" features a dreamlike video view of the historic river.

New and different is the name of the game in the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art exhibit "New Waves," which showcases Virginia artists attempting to push past old boundaries and redefine what it means to be cutting edge. -- Mark St. John Erickson
